Get off them now

Ultram was bad news for me after Darvocet was taken off the market. It is not a narcotic pain reliever  but if you take a SSRI antidepressant it can cause a horrible reaction called seratonin syndrome. Will our doctors and the powers that be ever smart up with what is being doled out and how much? With the age of computers and big Big Brother insurance companies watching every move it seems not. If you don't have insurance though and can afford paying for these medications then it would be easy enough. I pray you can all get help for these addictions and get the proper help to do so. IT WON'T BE EASY.

Im going to be real here, Theres no easy way around this, using pain meds we have numbed our bodys for so long, re wired our brains ect, there comes a time when you eventually have to stop taking them, and with that comes withdrawl, it has to run its course, I've been where you are, I took tramadol to come off of oxy contin 60mg aday, let me tell you, after a week on Trams, I got the worst feeling in the world, IMO it is much much harder to come off of trams vs coming off of regular opiates, all im saying is the withdrawl has to take place sooner or later and there are tons of things to help you through it, Please stay off the trams as this will not end pretty.. google the Thomas recipe, there will be other members here soon to help you.. Just wanted to tell you about Tramadol..

I have been taking Vic's for 4 yrs and have tried many attempt to quit, yet failed. This time I am 6 days sober but I made the mistake of replacing it with tramadol. Did some research and found that it's not the best way Bc you too can be addicted. What can I do for w/d I have two small children and a husband with a full time 6day work week. any recommendations. I don't take tramadol too often but only these 6 days off Vic's ? Today I have not taken anything but B12&alieve. Sooooo not helping
